Chapter 2409: Chapter 2409: Standing Up for Justice

As the voice rang out, three figures appeared silently not far behind them.

The man in black suddenly narrowed his eyes.

He remembered very clearly, no one was supposed to be here.

How did these three people suddenly appear?

He scrutinized these three individuals closely.

They seemed to be young men around the age of twenty.

One looked like a Daoist.

One looked like a graceful young gentleman.

One looked like the son of a common farmer.

But it was the one who looked like the son of a farmer who casually reached out and grabbed.

The little girl fell into his hands.

These three were naturally Zhou Yu, Qi Ling, and Hai Long.

They were traveling toward Jiulong Mountain and had encountered many scenes of treasure disputes along the way.

Qi Ling and Hai Long, full of youthful vigor, wanted to intervene whenever they saw injustice.

But Zhou Yu stopped them.

Zhou Yu told them that every person has their own fate and it is best not to interfere lightly.

Luckily, Zhou Yu’s authority was sufficient along the way, so Qi Ling and Hai Long respected him greatly.

So, they heeded Zhou Yu’s advice and did not intervene.

But this scene before them was unbearable.

These three men were simply despicable.

Not only did they seize the treasure, but they also killed the girl right in front of her father.

Even Zhou Yu found these three individuals utterly abhorrent.

Therefore, he did not stop Qi Ling and Hai Long.

And personally took action to rescue the little girl.

Thus, this scene unfolded.

At this moment, the man in black looked at the three, outraged, and scolded.

"Who are you to dare interfere in the matters of the Black Wind Three Heroes!"

Though the man in black couldn’t discern the cultivation of the three, they appeared to only be in their twenties, so their cultivation presumably wasn’t too high.

Thus, he dared to shout at them like this.

"Black Wind Three Heroes?"

"The name sounds quite intimidating!"

"It does sound intimidating."

"But look at your Weihai Sect, the name makes you sound so cowardly." Hai Long completely ignored the three, playfully looking at Qi Ling.

These words touched Qi Ling’s sore spot.

Qi Ling was livid.

"Nonsense."

"What’s wrong with the name of our Weihai Sect?"

"The ’Wei’ embodies unparalleled dominance, the ’hai’ symbolizes embracing a hundred rivers."

"These two words together, aren’t they impressive enough?"

"You, with your poor taste, should refrain from commenting on our Weihai Sect."

Qi Ling vigorously defended himself.

Hai Long curled his lips, evidently thinking Qi Ling was being overly protective.

Meanwhile, the man in black looked extremely displeased.

These two young men completely disregarded the three, arguing amongst themselves.

This was simply too obnoxious.

The man in black’s eyes flashed viciously, then suddenly gave a cold shout.

"Attack, kill them!"

As soon as the words fell, a black light shot out from the man in black’s hand, aiming directly at Zhou Yu.

In the eyes of the man in black, Zhou Yu, who had remained silent, seemed to be the most troublesome of the three.

He willingly took on Zhou Yu as a challenge.

Meanwhile, the other two muscular men deftly attacked Hai Long and Qi Ling.

One of the muscular men wielded a long spear treasure, while the other raised an armor shield.

Both treasures were truly formidable in power.

Moreover, the spear and shield worked exceptionally well together, clearly the result of years of experience fighting side by side.

Seeing these three attack, Hai Long and Qi Ling showed no sign of panic.

Hai Long looked at Qi Ling and Zhou Yu.

"You both stay put."

"Leave these three little pests to me."

As he spoke, Hai Long launched a punch through the air.

Instantly, a powerful fist force exploded forth, transforming into a visible shockwave aimed at the three.

As soon as Hai Long began his attack, his cultivation aura was completely revealed.

The man in black initially had a vicious look.

But when he sensed that Hai Long was actually a Golden Core Realm expert.

His face drastically changed.

Without saying a word, the man in black immediately retreated, transforming into a black light, fleeing into the distance.

The other two muscular men, however, reacted a beat too late.

When they tried to escape, it was already too late.

Hai Long’s punch shattered both the spear and shield treasures.

Then, the residual force hit their bodies.

The two muscular men had no chance to resist, perishing instantly.

Afterward, Hai Long looked at the fleeing man in black, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

In the next moment, his figure transformed into golden light, pursuing him.

In an instant, he arrived behind the man in black.

At this time, Hai Long wore a cold smile, ready to strike and kill.

However, the man in black suddenly took out a bag and threw it toward Hai Long.

The bag shattered instantly in mid-air.

Next, dozens of spiritual insects, resembling fist-sized bees, flew toward Hai Long.

These spiritual insects were completely cyan-green, appearing very bizarre.

Seeing these spiritual insects, Hai Long showed a look of surprise.

He hadn’t expected the man in black to know the Insect Extermination Technique.

However, he was confident that his cultivation was a realm higher than the opponent’s, and since he primarily practiced the Golden Body Technique, he wouldn’t fear these spiritual insects.

Thus, Hai Long directly activated the Golden Body Technique, golden light emanating from his body.

Then, he charged boldly toward the spiritual insects.

Unexpectedly, as he charged into the swarm of spiritual insects.

These insects started to self-destruct.

Instantly, a powerful shockwave, accompanied by cyan-green poison gas, surged toward him.

Not to mention the cyan-green poison gas.

Just the shockwave from the explosion inflicted severe damage on Hai Long’s body.

His protective golden light, which lasted less than three seconds, began to collapse.

Then, the cyan-green poison gas surged toward him.

For a while, Hai Long felt dizzy and light-headed.

At that moment, suddenly, a blaze of fire appeared.

Before Hai Long could see clearly what was happening, he felt warmth enveloping his body.

The next instant, all of his discomfort vanished completely.

After Hai Long’s senses returned, he looked around, realizing that his body was enveloped in flames.

And the shockwave and cyan-green poison gas from the self-destructed insects were incinerated the moment the flames appeared.

Hai Long then looked at the distant man in black.

Only to see the man in black also being simultaneously struck by the blaze, instantly annihilated.

Hai Long turned to look at Zhou Yu.

Seeing Zhou Yu smile faintly, waving his hand casually.

The flames surrounding him instantly transformed into a stream of light, returning to Zhou Yu’s hand and disappearing.

Hai Long looked embarrassed, chuckling sheepishly, he returned to Zhou Yu, scratching his head, saying:

"Ah, I was careless earlier, didn’t expect the man to have such formidable means."

"Thank you for stepping in and helping, Brother Zhou!"
